Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Xu Jing raised an eyebrow, a surprised expression flickering across her face. She had thought Lin Feng was just verbally sparring with Li Zhi and kidding around. Who would have guessed that Lin Feng would actually make such a promise in front of her? Xu Jing subconsciously thought, Is there something wrong with Lin Feng's head?

The school sports meet had more than twenty events. Except for the top three who could earn actual competition points, most classes could only earn basic participation points in each event—just one point. By the end of the entire sports meet, it was possible that seventy to eighty classes would rank at the bottom with nothing but basic participation points, having achieved nothing significant.

It wasn't uncommon for Industrial Management classes from various years to end up with such bottom-ranking scores in the school sports meet. Xu Jing thought, If Lin Feng himself signs up for the competition, with his abilities, achieving a top-three rank in three events and saving the class from a last-place fate would be quite good... Top three or anything like that, I haven't even dared to think about it, let alone first place!

So, seeing Lin Feng speak to her so seriously, Xu Jing couldn't help but feel that this fellow's disposition was far too frivolous. But I'm grateful to him for treating my illness and prescribing medicine, so I don't really mind his slight frivolity. After all, he's still young; it's normal for him to lack a bit of maturity.

"Lin Feng, are you seriously not joking?" Xu Jing's face turned solemn, and she stared intently at Lin Feng, hoping he would consider carefully before answering her question.

Lin Feng just shrugged helplessly, spread his hands, and said to Xu Jing, "Teacher Xu, do I look like I'm joking now?"

Xu Jing was suddenly speechless. Lin Feng actually thinks the Industrial Management class can win first place in the overall team score? This guy must be daydreaming...

"Haha! Teacher, you hear that? Lin Feng is being very serious about this!" Li Zhi said to Xu Jing with a smug grin. "He dares to say this in front of you. If he fails to fulfill his promise, he, as the head of the Sports Department, should resign in disgrace. Otherwise, it'll be hard for him to command respect! Don't you agree?!"

Xu Jing ignored Li Zhi's words. Instead, her eyes fixed on Lin Feng, trying to detect any sign of uncertainty in his expression. But to her disappointment, she found Lin Feng's gaze to be incredibly firm and confident, with no trace of uncertainty whatsoever.

"Li Zhi, stop trying to shift the focus to me. Don't forget what you just said! How about this..." Lin Feng suddenly looked at Li Zhi and said coldly, "As class monitor, not only have you failed to make any useful contributions, but you've also repeatedly hindered classmates from signing up for the school sports meet and even continuously attacked Wang Zikai, who has been working tirelessly for the class. If, by some chance, I actually lead our class to win first place in the overall team score at the school sports meet, shouldn't you resign as class monitor?"

Xu Jing cast a suspicious glance at Li Zhi. Lin Feng wouldn't lie to my face, would he? Could it be that this class monitor, who always pretends in front of me to be so actively serving the class collective, has really done things to obstruct classmates from signing up for the school sports meet?

"I... I didn't!" After hearing Lin Feng's accusation, Li Zhi's face flushed red as he shook his head and vehemently denied it.

Although Lin Feng was telling the truth, how could Li Zhi dare admit to those accusations in front of Xu Jing?

"Stop denying it. Everyone knows what you've done; we're not blind. Who can't see it?" Lin Feng stated confidently in front of Xu Jing. "How about this, Li Zhi, let's be direct and make a bet. If I can lead our entire class to win first place in the school's overall team score, you will resign as class monitor. If I fail, I'll resign as the head of the Sports Department! Deal?"

Wang Zikai, Zhong Jialiang, Yang Ming, and the others exchanged glances. They really didn't understand where Lin Feng got this confidence, to make such a bet with Li Zhi right in front of Teacher Xu!

Li Zhi, not daring to meet Counselor Xu Jing's eyes, heard Lin Feng's words and felt a surge of triumph. He declared loudly to Lin Feng, "Okay, I'll accept your challenge right in front of Teacher Xu! With so many people witnessing, you better not try to back out then!"

Lin Feng gazed at Li Zhi with a chuckle, laughing inwardly. This Li Zhi is truly digging his own grave. He's said everything so definitively now; I'd like to see how he'll clean up this mess later.

"As long as you don't back out, that's fine!" Lin Feng replied nonchalantly, as if the matter didn't concern him in the slightest.

Only then did a flicker of doubt cross Li Zhi's mind. Why is Lin Feng so composed? Could he... actually fulfill his promise? Impossible! The moment this thought arose, Li Zhi shook his head, refusing to dwell on it further.

Xu Jing stood aside with her arms crossed. Only after Lin Feng and Li Zhi had made their verbal agreement did she frown. She beckoned Lin Feng over and said in a solemn voice, "Lin Feng, come to my office with me!"

Neither Wang Zikai and the others, nor Li Zhi, were surprised that Xu Jing called Lin Feng away. After all, Lin Feng had taken a week off without a word; it would be strange if the counselor didn't summon him for an explanation.

Lin Feng followed Xu Jing into her office.

Xu Jing's office was warmed by an air conditioner. The moment she stepped inside, she casually took off the coat draped over her shoulders and hung it on the clothes rack behind the door. Only then did she lightly smooth the hair at the nape of her neck, stretch languidly, and settle onto the plush leather sofa. She gazed at Lin Feng, a smile playing on her lips, but said nothing.

On a late autumn day like this, Teacher Xu is dressed rather provocatively!

"Lin Feng, why are you standing there like a fool? Sit down! Why are you being so formal with your teacher?" After stretching, Xu Jing glanced at Lin Feng and found him still standing obediently. She casually invited him to sit, her tone feigning slight annoyance. This guy! He's already been to my home and met Grandpa, yet he's still here putting on this act of a well-behaved student. Honestly...

"I'm not being formal, I just don't know why you called me here, Teacher..." Lin Feng replied with a slightly awkward smile, then obediently sat across from Xu Jing, his eyes unconsciously drifting to her long legs.

"Why I called you over?" Xu Jing couldn't help but chuckle, amused, when she heard Lin Feng's question. "Is there even a need to ask? Of course, I called you over to have you honestly account for where you've been these past many days!"

So, Xu Jing really was going to ask about this, Lin Feng's expression soured, a sense of conflict welling up inside him.
